Alienware's new Pro headset offers high-quality audio and noise cancellation for competitive gamers

Alienware has just launched the Alienware Pro headset, which was designed for competitive gaming and tuned with feedback from over 100 esports athletes, including members of professional esports team Team Liquid. The brand says its engineers worked with these athletes for over 18 months to develop what it calls its “most advanced” gaming headset.



The new headset follows in the footsteps of Alienware's Pro Mouse and Keyboard, putting an emphasis on superior sound, comfort, and advanced noise-cancellation technology. One of the standout features is the 50mm graphene-coated drivers. These lightweight yet powerful drivers are designed to deliver precise, directional sound, a must for competitive gamers. The graphene coating helps reduce distortion, especially at higher frequencies, providing natural and clear sound whether you're listening for footsteps in a first-person shooter or subtle audio cues in strategy games.

In addition to high-end audio performance, the Alienware Pro Headset features Hybrid Active Noise Cancelation (ANC). This technology blocks out background noise, whether it's a noisy room or the hum of a gaming event. For those moments when you need to be aware of your surroundings – like when you're commuting or just need to hear the doorbell – there's a Transparency mode that lets outside noise through while you play.

Communication is crucial in gaming, which is why Alienware has focused on improving microphone quality. The Pro headset uses a dual-mic system with AI-powered noise cancellation to ensure only your voice comes through, minimizing distractions like background chatter or even the sound of a clacking mechanical keyboard. The AI ​​model used to train the microphone has been refined to detect and filter out non-verbal audio signals, allowing for clearer team communication during intense games.

The headset's design is also suitable for long gaming sessions. With soft memory foam earcups that hug the ear, the Pro Headset is designed to provide comfort and noise isolation so gamers can focus on the game without discomfort. The headset is also lighter and more minimalist than previous Alienware models, making it a solid option for gaming at home and on the go. The detachable microphone and Bluetooth capabilities allow for an easy transition from a gaming setup to mobile use, and a low latency mode reduces lag when playing on your phone.


In terms of battery life, the Pro headset offers up to 70 hours of use with ANC turned off in 2.4GHz wireless mode, or up to 75 hours when using Bluetooth. The headset can be connected via USB-C, Bluetooth 5.3, or a 2.4GHz wireless connection, making it compatible with a range of devices from PCs to consoles and smartphones.

The Alienware Pro Headset will be available in North America in October for $229.99.

In addition to the launch of the Alienware Pro Headset, Alienware has also updated the Alienware Tri-Mode Wireless Headset (formerly Dual-Mode) to include Bluetooth support for mobile gaming and phone audio. This headset will be available in October for $149.99.
